Speaking\u200b with Christiane Amanpour on \u200dCNN, Christie explained \u200chis \u200cdecision to withdraw his \u2064support for Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t leave Donald Trump, Christiane. He left me \u2014 when he stood there on election \u2063night 2020 behind the seal of the president in the East \u200dRoom of the White House\u2063 and\u2064 said the election had been stolen \u200dwhen he had absolutely\u2062 no evidence to support that. We know now that was\u200d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-extends-southern-california-stay-at-home-order-for-at-least-another-three-weeks\/\" title=\"Newsom Extends Southern California Stay-at-Home Order For at Least Another Three Weeks\">complete lie<\/a>,\u201d Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Christie emphasized that he could not support \u200bsomeone who would deceive the American people by claiming \u200cthe election was stolen without any evidence. He made this clear during \u200bhis commentary on ABC that very night.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen he \u2062did it that night, I was on ABC doing commentary, and I said that night that I cannot \u200csupport someone \u2062who would make the American people \u200cbelieve that \u2064the election they just participated in was stolen when he had no\u200d evidence to support it,&#8221; Christie added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite trailing behind Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in recent polls, Christie remains optimistic \u200babout his chances. He hopes to surpass\u200c DeSantis\u200d in \u2063New Hampshire and make it a head-to-head race between himself and Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the first step for\u200c me, is then to set this up as\u2062 a \u200brace between\u2062 me \u200dand \u200cDonald Trump in\u2064 New Hampshire. If we do\u2063 that, I\u2063 believe we will beat Donald Trump in New Hampshire, and if we do, we&#8217;re gonna show the emperor has\u200c no clothes, that Donald Trump, who many people \u200bthought\u200b was the inevitable \u2064nominee, will not be. And then I believe\u2063 then I\u2062 will be the nominee of the Republican Party, and I will \u200cdefeat Joe Biden,&#8221; \u200dChristie \u2063said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Christie will be among the candidates participating in the Republican presidential primary debate on August 23.
